Take a few minutes to read Earth Advantage Institute’s prediction for this year’s building trends. Since 1 in 4 homes built in Seattle or Portland earn Environmental Certification of some kind (there are various programs available), as a new home buyer you will start seeing the label more and more and you should have some information in order to make an informed buying decision.
The trends, which range from “affordable green” to lifecycle analysis of materials, were identified by Earth Advantage Institute based on discussions with a range of audiences over the latter part of 2010. These sectors include policymakers, builders, developers, architects, real estate brokers, appraisers, lenders, and homeowners.
